Ask a trans person!

So I hope this is the right place.

The Boy and I are watching Girls will be Boys. And we started discussing something that I have noticed before and wondered about.

While I understand that trans people feel/look/genitally are one gender, chromosomaly they are of another gender. So I would think chromosomes are what determines hair pattern. But obviously this is not so.....

How is it that FTMs end up with male hairlines, i.e. male pattern baldness? Is it the T that causes hair loss because of its steroid nature?

Thanks for any feedback.
